Netflix Secures Foreign Rights to DC Universe’s ‘Titans’

The recently launched DC Comics-centric subscription streaming service has sold foreign rights to its first original scripted drama, Titans, to Netflix. Netflix will stream the series globally to its members outside of the U.S. and China (where it is not yet available). DC Universe, available now for $7.99 per month, will exclusively stream the series in the U.S.

DC’s international deal with Netflix will provide a cash infusion to the recently launched DC Universe platform. The Titans move has been compared to CBS All Access’ 2016 decision to sell international rights for expansive drama Star Trek: Discovery to Netflix.

At the time, CBS All Access was still getting off the ground, with only The Good Fight available to stream. While the Discovery deal also included the gigantic Star Trek library of more than 700 episodes, it still provided a financial infusion for a recently launched streaming service taking a big scripted swing, as is the case with DC Universe and Titans.

Titans was originally developed for TNT but moved to the SVOD platform. It launches in the U.S. on Oct. 12 and centers on Dick Grayson (aka Robin) as he emerges from Batman’s shadow to lead a new band of heroes.
